Connected and Autonomous Vehicles

As well as our white paper series, in conjunction with economic research agency Explain the Market, we have commissioned a year-long research project to track investment in the UK autonomous vehicles sector. The study will track the confidence, attitudes and opinions of 1,000 UK investors on the autonomous vehicle (AV) sector and reveal what investors really want as the sector develops. The study will also probe the real barriers and factors that impact confidence.

The results from the third quarter from our AV Tracker reveal that distrust in artificial intelligence is actually becoming less of a barrier to the widespread introduction of driverless vehicles for UK investors, suggesting that the public is more open to the use of AI.

Results from the second quarter of the study reveal how investors view the performance of a range of different players in the AV market. Tesla, Google and Bosch are among those brands which investors believe to have the highest potential for success in the AV market.
